1. Fish mouth diversion dike

Fishui diversion dike, also known as fish mouth, is the water diversion project of Dujiangyan. It is named after its shape like a fish mouth. It starts at the center of the Minjiang River and includes a complete set of coordinated facilities such as Baizhang Dike, Chacha Dike and Jingang Dike.

Its main function is to divide the turbulent Minjiang River into two inner and outer rivers. The western one is called the outer river, commonly known as the Jinma River. It is the normal flow of the Minjiang River and is mainly used to drain floods. The one along the foot of the mountain in the east is called Neijiang, which is an artificial water diversion channel mainly used for irrigation.

2. Feishayan Spillway

Feishayan Spillway is also called a floodway. It has the significant functions of reducing floods, discharging sand and regulating water volume, so it is also called Feishayan. Feishayan is one of the three major parts of Dujiangyan. It looks very ordinary, but in fact it has a very great function. It can be said to be the key to ensuring that the Chengdu Plain is protected from floods.

The main function of Feishayan is that when the water volume in the Neijiang River exceeds the upper flow limit of Baopingkou, the excess water will overflow from Feishayan. In the event of a severe flood, the embankments will collapse on their own, allowing a large amount of water to return to the normal flow of the Minjiang River.

Another function of Feishayan is flying sand. The Minjiang River rushes from the mountains, carrying a large amount of silt and stones. If they are allowed to flow down the inner river, it will block the treasure. Bottle mouth and irrigation area. In ancient times, Feisha Weir was a temporary project built with bamboo cages and pebbles; now it is cast in concrete to ensure a permanent effect.

3. Baopingkou

Baopingkou functions as a control gate and can automatically control the water inflow of the Neijiang River. It is the extension of Jianshan Mountain (now known as Guankou Mountain and Yulei Mountain). A mouth cut on the long ridge of the Minjiang River. It is a man-made throat to control the inflow of water in the inner river. Because it looks like the mouth of a bottle and has a unique function, it is named Baopingkou.

The hill left on the right side of Baopingkou is named Lidui because it is separated from the mountain. Before the opening of Baopingkou was dug, Lidui was part of Hutou Rock in Jianshan Mountain. Due to the magnificent natural landscape of Baopingkou, it is known as Lidusuo Gorge and is one of the ten famous scenic spots in Guanyang in history.

4. Erwang Temple

The Erwang Temple is located on the hillside on the right bank of the Minjiang River, in front of Dujiangyan. It was originally the Wangdi Temple in memory of the King of Shu. During the Qi Dynasty, it was renamed to worship Li Bing and his son. It was renamed Chongde Temple. After the Song Dynasty, Li Bing and his son were successively named kings by the emperor, so later generations called it Erwang Temple.

The main hall of the temple enshrines statues of Li Bing and his son respectively, and also collects famous quotes on water control, poet inscriptions, etc. The building complex is distributed on the east bank of the Dujiangyan Canal Head. It is large in scale, rigorous in layout, and extremely quiet.

It is a famous scenic spot that combines temples and gardens. It covers an area of ??about 50,000 square meters and the main building is about 10,000 square meters. Erwang Temple is divided into east and west wings. The east wing is the garden area, and the west wing is the palace area. The whole temple is a wooden structure building. The temple completely relies on the natural geographical environment and takes advantage of the mountains. The architectural style does not emphasize central axis symmetry.

5. Fulong Temple

Fulong Temple is located in Lidui Park. It is adjacent to a deep pool. Legend has it that Li Bing and his son once subdued the evil dragon here under Lidui when they were controlling floods. Therefore, in the early Northern Song Dynasty, it was changed to worship Li Bing and named Fulong Temple.

The existing temple has three levels. In the center of the front hall is a stone statue of Li Bing carved during the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the hall, there are also stone statues of weir workers in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Flying Dragon Cauldron, which was a relic of Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen in the Tang Dynasty when they practiced Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain.
